Wow. 11 polar icebreakers cost more than our entire global Ebola response in 2014. $7 billion could be saving millions of lives today.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4d agoPresident Trump decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers, worth almost $7 billion, after a game of golf with Finland’s president. The question, experts say, is how many the U.S. really needs. nyti.ms/4hK355K
Trump needs to sound "strong and powerful" and to have something to brag about. Facts and reality are irrelevant.
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 3d agoTrump says his now canceled attack on Iran was going to be “by far the biggest attack since World War II.” He said that because he thinks its sounds impressive. But it’s not. The United States has conducted massive bombing campaigns that dwarfed what it did during World War II many times over.
This is a clip from my video I recorded back in June about Max Miller. I guess he didn’t see it.
In his live video, Max Miller stated that the allegations only stemmed from his ex-wife. Wrong. There are allegations that he: - Threw a girl down the stairs in high school - Was expelled from college for a violent incident involving a female student - Abused his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Grisham
This is absolutely wild. There's so little enforcement of laws that these guys are just openly sharing all their AI slop product sales techniques (and turning THAT into a business too‼️). Great reporting www.404media.co/inside-an-ai...

“He would get in trouble and just—nothing ever seemed to happen..." “Because he is Max Miller,” said another classmate. “He gets out of stuff" “He’s rich, he’s well-connected, his family is well-connected. It’s not surprising to me that he doesn’t pay consequences for the things he does."
Michael Planey@airplaney.bsky.social · 3d agoAnd this @politico.com story from 2021 rightly points out Miller's abusive past and his family's billionaire wealth and long-time Republican connections in Ohio, so it was all known to Bernie Moreno before his daughter's wedding: web.archive.org/web/20211105...
Nearly 500,000 public comments have flooded in since the Trump administration proposed a rule that gives political appointees control over research funding. “The United States will not just fall behind. It will step aside,” one physicist wrote.

REPUBLICANS POKED THE BEAR They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. New data shows they helped drive higher Black voter turnout in parts of the South instead. 📌 Alabama saw one of the biggest increase in Black voter mobilization. That will matter in @dougjones.bsky.social gov race.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!
Is this an “Iran is begging for a deal” day, or an “I’m going to bomb them at levels not seen since WWII” day? Sometimes it can be hard to keep up.
People seem to like the “WatchDuty” app. I don’t think the federal government can endorse an app, so you likely won’t hear about it from the Forest Service. But anyway. It exists. @watchduty.org Please have multiple ways to get alerts. There’s a FEMA app, more here: www.ready.gov/wildfires
